Spergin Morlock posted:hilarious if true It's not. They admit as much. quote:Company spokeswoman Laura Siebert said magnets on F-35s already delivered will not be replaced with magnets made from non-Chinese materials because the Pentagon has decided the magnets are safe for flight and do not put sensitive program information at risk. Some contractor probably tried paying bottom rate for equally good Chinese materials and fudged the paperwork. China processes 80% of the world's cobalt.

 it's very difficult to swallow this narrative of Duterte as a dictator when he stepped down peacefully after his one constitutionally-mandated term-of-office and handed-over power to a duly-elected successor.

Good developments along the India / China border. Hopefully its a sign of where the Xi/Modi meeting will head. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/in-breakthrough-indian-chinese-troops-kick-off-disengagement-from-pp15-101662642655131.html

As long as BJP is in charge, China is more valuable as a looming thread than a development partner. It's going to be a talk-talk-minor incident-talk cycle for the next 5 years.

Nah, the BJP has been turning inwards for a while sniffing for secret pakistanis, leftists and the like. The BJP also has an iron grip on mainstream media and can possibly spin us giving up all of our claims away from ladakh as a big brave decision.

You literally do not have to create a threat when you can just use the rest of the subcontinent as a threat.

Like who are you going to use as a threat? Bangladesh? They have been doing better than us for a bit. Pakistan is getting stale as a beatstick. Maybe the big bad Bhutan is going to come next.

I'm almost certain I've read something like this about Soviet delegations meeting with European imperialists. The whole 'they were so rude!!' thing really rings a bell.

Puerto Rico

Like these guys are idiots. If the British empire had done like China is doing now and been trying to grow them introduce new, powerful provinces and integrate them as true citizens of their nation, they'd probably still have a big honking trade empire. Live through cruelty, die through cruelty, to turn a phrase.

Based on the handles I think they're worse... compradors The British did spend a lot of time creating a local comprador class to ensure someone could do the basic work. Nkrumah noted that more than a few people sent to England for school came back more English than the English

But the empire was always primarily a system to loot the gently caress out of the colonies to enrich Britain and all pretenses to the contrary were just the bare minimum to stop the colonized from rising in open revolt. The cruelty was the entire point.

I think the British really got lucky with India, which was a golden goose. So the Brits built their later strategies around maintaining India (including the great game wars against Russia and wars in Afghanistan, expedition in Tibet) and also was looking for new colonies like India, but they never found a similar golden goose ever again. So the British empire probably could have lasted longer and fallen in more peaceful fashion if they never colonized India.
